Objecting to a deportation decision is an important legal process to protect the rights of foreign nationals in Türkiye. Here is what you need to know about the deportation decision objection process:

1. What is a Deportation Decision and Why is it Given?

• A deportation decision means the deportation of a foreign national from Türkiye for certain reasons.
• These reasons may include visa violation, committing a crime, or endangering public order.

2. How Does the Objection Process Work?

• The objection against the deportation decision must be made to the Administrative Court within 7 days from the date of notification of the decision.
• The objection petition must explain in detail why the decision is unlawful and should be annulled.
• During the appeal process, the foreign national can generally continue to stay in Türkiye. However, in some cases, they may be placed under administrative detention.
• An action for annulment of a deportation decision is filed against the governor’s office that issued the deportation decision.

3. Things to Consider When Objecting

• The objection period is quite short, so it is important to seek legal help without delay.
• Getting support from a lawyer in preparing your objection petition can help ensure that the process proceeds accurately and completely.
• In the objection petition, it should be stated that the reasons for the deportation decision have no legal basis and that your personal situation has been ignored.

4. Deportation Removal Procedures

• After the deportation decision is lifted, the foreign national can continue to stay in Türkiye legally.
• Deportation removal procedures can be of two types. First, the foreigner may have obtained an annotated visa. With this visa, he/she can enter the country before the expiration of the deportation period given to him/her. Secondly, the foreigner can request the cancellation of the deportation decision given to him/her by filing a lawsuit with the administrative court.

Important Note: The deportation decision and the appeal process involve complex legal issues. Therefore, it is important to consult an attorney before taking any action.
